I’ve asked Boris why don’t they release the re-masters on SACD. He said something about the old recordings being to low of quality or bits or something. Can some musicians elaborate on this? Julian On Nov 14, 2009, at 10:11 AM, Glenn Folkvord - PlanetOrigo.com wrote:

I think the normal chain of events would be to release a standard DVD then down the road release the Blu-Ray version. That way they sell more standard DVDs If there is no Blu-ray version available the Blu-ray people will buy the standard version. To me Yello has made a smart choice They are appealing to the larger demographic. Then down the road they can have a special edition blu-ray package maybe with bonus items.
Sure, but this is pure marketing and sales strategy, and has nothing to do with BluRay being more expensive to make. So which is it, prohibitive costs or marketing strategy?
BluRay still hasnt penetrated as deep as DVD, but it may be more expensive to go back in 3 years and do the job again in HD, not only in terms of authoring and manufacturing but also marketing. New shipments needs to be made, new ads, new distro deals.... and that's assuming that fans will want to re-buy the same movie.
